Gilberto Santa Rosa Engages Berklee Students in Valencia

Gilberto Santa Rosa, a celebrated figure in Latin music, recently made a notable stop at the Berklee College of Music campus in Valencia. This visit came after he received an honorary doctorate in musical arts from the prestigious institution in May. His tour coincides with his 'Auténtico' concert series in Spain, making the visit a memorable highlight for both the artist and the students.

Santa Rosa's European Tour

A Unique European Tour

The 'Auténtico' tour kicked off in early July, taking Santa Rosa across several Spanish cities. Starting in Madrid, he has performed in Sant Feliu, A Coruña, Jerez, Fuengirola, and Murcia. Tonight, he is set to perform in Valencia, known for its rich scientific, artistic, and cultural heritage as the "City of Arts and Sciences." The tour aims to delight Spanish audiences and Latin Americans residing in Spain with a repertoire that spans his illustrious career.

Santa Rosa Inspires Berklee Students

An Inspiring Encounter with Students

Santa Rosa expressed his gratitude and excitement about the visit to Berklee, stating, “I felt deeply honored by the invitation. It’s the first time I’ve visited an educational institution to share with the students. Seeing young people studying and working towards the future of music fills me with hope. I’d love to collaborate on a project with the students and faculty at Berklee, both here in Valencia and in Boston. The experience was fantastic, and I look forward to returning.”

During the visit, Santa Rosa interacted with students participating in the university's summer program. Guided by Manuel Costa, the Director of Operations and Institutional Relations, and Katie Irwin, the Director of Study Abroad and Special Programs, Santa Rosa toured the recording studios, classrooms, and enjoyed live performances by the students, which are part of their coursework.

Continued Success on the 'Auténtico' Tour

The 'Auténtico' tour in Spain will continue with a performance at Trui Son Fusteret in Mallorca on Friday, July 19, and will conclude with a grand finale in Tenerife on Saturday, July 20. Following the Spanish leg of the tour, Santa Rosa will head to Mexico in August to continue his global tour.
